Statement: The Committee has criticized the Institute for its failure to implement a dozen of regular programmes despite an increase in the staff strength and not drawing up a firm action plan for studies and research.
Courses of Action:
- The broad objectives of the Institute should be redefined to implement a practical action plan.
- The Institute should give a report on reasons for not having implemented the planned programmes.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The problem is that despite an increase in staff strength, the Institute has failed in its objective of implementing its plan. So, either there should be reasons for the lackening or the plans are a failure and must be revised for practical implementation. Thus, both the courses follow.

Why redefine objectives if the problem is a bunch of failures staffing the Institute? The objectives may already be perfect. The correct answer is B.

I believe this is the "correct" thing to do, not the logical answer. There are other things that could be the reason or the main objective. And "SHOULD" give a report? This is more like the administrative way of handling it, far away from the logical response.
